GABRIELLA AND THE AMULET PROPHECY

I'm Gabriella McCall Rodriguez , but you can call me Ella.

This is the story of how my normal life became incredibly abnormal in a strangely exciting way.

I'm a sixteen year old girl with an annoying thirteen year old brother named Eduardo who's quite a jerk and stupid sometimes.

An eleven year old gossip of a sister, Flora, who I fear is disrespectful and unbelievably smarter than her age ...how lucky am I? Well, I'm not.

They both frustrate my life.

Now, let me tell you about how I,my siblings and my best friends got our powers.

Well, it all began on the day to our school's field trip to Cairo actually and I literally wanted to go cause my two best friends and my crush were going.

You see, I've always actually wanted to see Pharaoh's statue and this field trip...this was my chance, an opportunity I just couldn't let pass me by or throw away; but! My mom thought otherwise or differently, if you wanna say it that way...

"oh come on mom! I promise, I'll take good care of Eddie and Flora" I begged.

"No! Ella, no matter how much you beg me, the answer's still–"

"No" We both said in Unison.

"Thank you!" She said and left me alone in the kitchen.

"Ugh!" I groaned out loud in frustration.

Okay, meet my mom, Mary McCall.

She's the best, strict, loving and an annoying wonderful mother.

Plus, she's an Fashion Designer, meaning she travels a lot, for her fashion shows.

She's travelling to London for a week.

Oh, my parents are separated, in case you were wondering where my dad was. He went back to his hometown in Mexico city.

Yeah I know, I'm half American, half Mexican.

So since my mom travels a lot, it also means that I can still go on the field trip without her knowing, cause it's also for a week. And so I made a plan:

1) Mom leaves for her flight to London tomorrow.

2) All I need to do, is pay for the field trip online today and collects our flight tickets today.

3) Lie to mom that there's a school programme for all the students tomorrow, so that way she'll drop us at school before going to the airport and then we'll be on our way to Cairo.

So the next day, I got ready for school with Flow and Eddie and mom's credit card which she gave us to use for this week and I also packed some of our clothes and things that we'd need for the trip. Mom dropped us at school and left for the airport.

As I got to the school bus parking lot, I met my two best friends: Anne Blackwell and Gabriel Stone, and my crush...Derrick Haynes.

He had the bluest eyes. Black wavy hair that stops at his shoulders and looked very soft to run your hands through. An athletic build to die for.

Well, I've been having a crush on Derrick since 7th grade, but he's never noticed me at all, not even once. Because he's dating my rival: Susanna Coy.

Susan's a rich spoilt brat, who is also a social media bully and I mean a really mean one at that, but God! She's smart and so perfect.

I'm very jealous of her.

When I got to the school bus parking lot, my friends of course,were both surprised to see me and my siblings.

"What are u doing here?" Anne asked

"Did your mom let you come?" Gabe asked.

That's what he likes being called instead of Gabriel.

"Yea, did she? Cause we all know that your mom's very strict with this kinda things like this field trip for exam–"

"Guys!" I interrupted Anne, "I'm here now, ain't I?" I asked.

"Well yeah, but how were you able to come to school today if…” Anne stopped talking and gasped softly, "oh no! Ella, did you...did you trick your mom into thinking we had school today?"

I beamed her my thousand watts smile.

"Bingo" I said, "so now can we get on the bus now before it leaves us here?"

"Yeah, I need my beauty sleep, so can we do that?" Eddie asked

We all ignored him.

"Eddie, you're such a lazy bone" Flow teased, he glared at her.

"Ella, you do know that this idea of yours is a reckless one right?" Gabe asked;

Okay! Let me introduce, like really introduce my friends to you.

Meet Gabriel Stone, let's just say he's the responsible, cautious and most intelligent one among us all. He's a black American, has black curly hair, honey brown eyes and he's hot but he's always hide that wonderful body of his under baggy clothes, in other words, he's a dork or should I say tech-nerd. A little harsh? Sorry.

Anne Blackwell. My other bestie, Well...she's the leader of the Reporters Association at our school: Crescentville High School; yep, that's right, she's the gossip among us all.

Any information you wanna know she's got it, plus, she's the best friend any girl could ever ask for. She's a ginger red kiss-curls haired girl,with chestnut brown eyes, very pretty with the longest legs and the whitest skin.

"Yea I do Gab, but this is my chance to see Pharaoh's statue and also explore the artifacts of Egypt. Yea, that's something I don't wanna miss" I said, "come on guys, help me out here"

"I guess what she's saying makes sense, Gabe, come on let her come, yea?" Anne pleaded on my behalf.

He sighed in defeat.

"Thanks!" I squealed in excitement and hugged him.

As we began to enter the bus, Flow smiling like a fox, asked,

"Ella, is Gabe your boyfriend?"

I froze and turned to face her.

"What?! No, he's my best friend" I said

"Then why did you hug him?" Eddie asked, I arched a brow.

"Cause he's a friend? You know what Eddie get into the damn bus now. Both of you!" I growled

Eddie smirked and shrugged, "if you say so" he said and got into the bus.

"Ella, you know how your siblings are, let it go and let's go already" Anne said, getting into the bus.

"Those children some times, I don't just know what to do what them" I said in anger.

"Come on Ella, I'm sure Eddie was just joking around" Gabe said, as he got into the bus, he looked like he was embarrassed.

Eddie is so annoying.

We drove to the airport and then we boarded the plane us there and we were on our way to Cairo.

I’m so excited!
